Good, healthy colors from this set Gator...

All three of these pictures are well lit, and have good exposure...

Dierks, was here at my local venue the previous year and might be due back again later this year...

Nice.
I'd crop a bit of top and left on #2.
#3 is way overexposed.

Thank you, both, for the comments and suggestions!

Oh Yeah... I saw that extra lighting on the side of his face in #3 too... What would you recommend? Dodging it out some? Or might it be recoverable? The light on the mike is pretty bright too... These sections aren't blown out, past past the point of recovery, are they Rene'?

The first two are decent shots, crop could help one. The third seems OOF.

My only suggestion would be to find shots that show some emotion, these look as though he was not having a good time.

If shot raw, it *might* be recoverable. I doubt it however. If shot jpg, it's gone.
As taygull says: if seems OoF as well, so I wouldn't bother.

Indeed, he doesn't look too happy in #1 ;)

wow the first one is awesome
